This in itself would appear to be ample evidence that the people have endorsed both the principle of insurance and the competence of those who administer it. But another factor is that the growing costs of government and the resultant increase in taxes have made it steadily more difficult for people to provide for their security adequately except through life insurance. It should be remembered, too, that as the purchasing power of the dollar has gone down, a proportionately greater amount of life insurance has become necessary to provide adequate protection. To criticize the size of life insurance companies assets is like finding fault with your bank because it has sufficient funds' to pay you your money when you need it. Life insurance represents the pooled savings of 78 million people.

Its $55 billion assets assure those million of policy-holders and their beneficiaries of payment when due. Where would be our peace of mind without this? Could our life insurance business be run competently by the Government, as some social-istically-minded persons would prefer? This year there is to be a veterans' insurance "bonus" of $3 billion to be paid out of "surplus." However, since 1942 Congress has expended, actually, $4 billion for the veterans' insurance program; this $4 billion did. not come out of income, as would be the case with private insurance companies, but out of the taxpayers' pockets. If the veterans' insurance program were operated on the basis followed by the insurance companies, there would be on these figures a deficit of $1 billion instead of a "surplus" of $3 billion. It is morally wrong to delude the veterans and the public into thinking otherwise.

Many veterans are unaware that, in addition to their premiums, they have paid in taxes a share of an extra $3 billion. This situation hardly proves that the life insurance business can be operated better or as well by the Government than by private companies. Graham Patterson in The Pathfinder News Magazine. PERSUASION IN SOUTHEAST ASIA MICHIGAN'S SENATOR FERGUSON thinks economic aid in Southeast Asia is not enough, and advocates for the United States "an aggressive policy for our own way of life there, a policy that will convince the people they ought to be on our side." The question is how the convincing is done. Al Capone had some very effective convincers, who left little doubt among the convinced and soon-to-be-convinced as to which side they ought to be on.

But Al Capone discovered, as the United States will discover if it borrows a page from his book, that you can't convince enough people that way. ..4 Who remembers the good old days when the newspapers had reporters who used their legs and got news? tions. their home was destroyed.

Edgar Hoover has responded to the criticism of his agents for the despic- able practice of tapping wires. He says that the FBI has 170 telephones in this country and its tapped for internal security investigations. Presumably the idea which Director 'Hoover seeks to convey is that the number of (phones now under tap is a small one. I Is not the precise number irrelevant? Any- way we should suppose that the number of eavesdropping operations would vdry from to time. Perhaps there are moments when a single agent is listening in'on private conversations.

On other occasions there could well be many more than 170. Mr. Hoover did not say how many there were at the height of the postwar loyalty check hysteria. But the test is not in numbers. The agent who listens in on one line listens in on many conversations.

As the late Justice Brandeis put it: Whenever a telephone line is tapped, the privacy of persons at both ends is invaded, and all conversations between them on any subject, and although proper, confidential and privileged, may be A government agent in the Nordone alcohol smuggling investigation said that he listened to "several thousand conversations of persons who had no connection with the case." On that basis, J. Edgar Hoover's 170 phones could produce 300,000 or more illegally overheard conversations. The issue is not extent, but legality. Congress outlawed wire-tapping by federal agents in 1934. Why then does the FBI not set an example by obeying the law? The plea that "modern techniques" are needed to deal with spies and saboteurs is not very impressive.

Hitler and Mussolini said that their totalitarian regimes were modern political means for dealing with problems with which "outmoded" democracy could not cope. Director Hoover surely does not want even to seem to defend the topping of wires in the same terms that the police state dictators attempted to justify their rule of oppression and snooping and spying on private citizens? SECURITY THAT'S SECURE 1 IT IS NORMAL for a man to want to protect those nearest and dearest to him his wife and children. He wants to provide for them while he is living and, when he dies, to leave them some measure of financial protection. To accumulate for this purpose sufficient savings from one's is impossible for most of us, especially in these times when an increasing proportion of our earnings is taken from us by high living costs and high taxes. But, fortunately, there is still left a way by which one can protect his familys's insurance makes it possible for a man, wfien he dies, to leave his family the nest-egg could not save.

That is why the institution of life insurance has become so important a part of bur economic and social structure, the "anchor to windward" of some 78 million people. The need for the services it provides is big. This is a big country, almost 150 million people, and to the great majority life insurance is the main means of building future security. Life insurance is purely voluntary, yet four out of five American families use it to protect their families or to provide for retirement. The amount of life insurance in force has ROSE MARIE ARCERI Teacher of PIANO College Graduate with Degree of Bachelor in Arts Studio 219 S.
